System Data

No information yet available.

Mainworld Data

The surface gravity is 1.2 Gs and the atmospheric pressure is 1.27. There is a molten iron core which yields a planetary density of 5.85 g/ml.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Addax has a pressure of 2.5 or greater atmospheres. A Dense & High Pressure Atmosphere typically requires no survival gear under many conditions. Pressure at or below sea level is too great to support life but the atmosphere may be breathable at higher altitudes. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• Native life is adapted to higher pressure conditions.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Addax has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

• While relatively small, these seas are notoriously deep -- often considered oceans by volume.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

The planet is volcanically active.

Native Lifeforms

Extensive life is found on Addax. Food chains are lengthy, and the great biological diversity includes large aquatic predators.

Native Sophont: Addaxur

An amphibious, quasi-arthropod race of six-limbed carnivores.

• This world has been incorrectly suggested as a possible homeworld of the Clotho, who are in fact from Tsodr. The confusion is understandable, given that Clotho are also six-limbed non-Humans within the Zhodani Consulate.

Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Government

Addax is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

• Addaxur hierarchies are charisma-based, like Vargr; however, in stark contrast to the Vargr, Addaxur prefer to remain obscure and are pushed to take leadership positions by others. Addaxur take the responsibility of selecting leaders from the pack very seriously.

World Military

There are ten army battalions available for planetary defense and 17,000 tons of TL–13 native tonnage available for the naval and system defense forces.
